Once upon a time in a quaint, small town, there was a seven-year-old boy named James. He stood at an average height for his age, around 3 feet 8 inches, and weighed just under 50 pounds. His sandy blonde hair was cropped short, just brushing his brow, and his bright blue eyes sparkled with the curiosity and innocence typical of his age. Clad in his favorite green t-shirt, blue jeans, and red high-top sneakers, James was brimming with excitement. His twenty-year-old mother, Mary, had given him permission to venture out alone for the first time, though she watched anxiously from the window.
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows, James wandered further than he had intended. His carefree stroll turned into a confusing maze of dimly lit streets. Nightfall approached, and a sense of unfamiliarity began to creep in. That’s when he spotted them—a pair of gaudy sandals, lying haphazardly in the middle of the sidewalk. They weren’t pink. The color was an obnoxious neon green that caught the light from the streetlamp above. Thin straps crisscrossed the flimsy sole, decorated with unnecessary sparkly embellishments.
“Eww, gross!” James exclaimed, scrunching his nose in disgust. He always thought such shoes were way too girly. Determined to avoid them, he attempted to step around. But as fate would have it, he tripped over a loose stone, sending his shoes and socks flying. He stumbled, his now bare feet landing squarely into the sandals. Instantly, a wave of revulsion hit him as he felt a strange tingling in his feet.
“Yuck!” he cried out, frantically kicking off the sandals. But the sensation didn’t stop. His feet began to crack and change, darkening to a shade of deep brown. Vibrant blue toenail polish appeared on his nails.
“Mommy!” he screamed, horrified by how girly his feet looked.
Panic set in as his legs and torso began to feminize and mature, also turning a rich brown. His hands and arms followed suit, with his fingernails growing long and painted the same vivid blue as his toes. James’s face and head morphed next; his sandy blonde hair grew long, transforming into a stylish black woman’s hairstyle that framed his now feminine face.
A skimpy outfit for clubbing materialized on his body—a tight, sequined dress that shimmered under the night sky. A small purse formed in his hand, decorated with glitter and containing essentials like lipstick, a compact mirror, and IDs.
“Mah name’s Shaniqua. I’m from New York City,” she murmured to herself, feeling new memories pushing the old ones away. Shaniqua was now 50 years old, a proud, sassy black woman with a confident strut. She recalled the worst insult she had ever received—a “cracker” from a spiteful colleague when she was young. “That damn fool called me a SLUT!” she hollered, encapsulating her frustration by slinging another epithet back in her mind.
Looking down at her feet, she loudly complained, “I can't be walkin' around barefoot like this! Gonna risk ruinin’ my pedicure. These damn streets will wreck my feet!” She saw the offensive sandals she had kicked off earlier.
"Oh yeah, I wasn’t wearing my shoes 'cause I kicked them off to fix my hair,” she chuckled, though it made little sense. Determined to reclaim her dignity, Shaniqua sat down and carefully slipped each sandal on, adjusting the straps with meticulous care.
With a sway of her hips, she adjusted her sequined purse before strutting proudly down the road. She caught a glimpse of herself in a store window and posed, her purse sneakily perched on her shoulder. Then, she set it down, shifting from one pose to another—one hand on her hip, the other blowing a kiss, while her face beamed with confidence.
"Gurl, you lookin' flawless!" she hyped herself up. She admired her curves, running her hands sensually over her hips, bust, and thighs, appreciating each curve with pride. Her fingernails were a testament to her elegance, as were her dainty, polished feet in the sandals.
“Shaniqua, you 50 years old, from NYC, baby!” she declared into the night, pushing away the intimidation it brought. With pride, she shouted out details about herself, her boldness catching every nuance. She lamented her mother teaching her this confidence, teardrops welled up as she recalled her mom’s lessons.
From her purse, she took out two golden bangles, slipping them onto her wrists with a satisfied grin. She then pulled out her wallet to check her credit cards and cash; she planned on buying something special—a dainty necklace to match her outfit. Amid the thoughts of self-admiration, she also thought of her children, mumbling, “I got kids—my 12-year-old daughter keeps gettin' into my things without asking.”
Suddenly, a rustling sound broke her reverie. Hugging her purse close to her chest, Shaniqua speed-walked nervously, tripping as the noises persisted around her. Stopping to gather herself, she found another mirror and scanned her reflection from her feet in the sandals to her face.
“I may be from NYC, nigga, but I’m still 50 years old,” she hyped herself up, although a touch of stress lingered. She noted how her once tighter skin had softened with age but stood proud regardless.
“Nigga, what am I even doin' out here in this dress and shoes?” she wondered aloud. “Oh, that’s right. I was going to the club. Must’ve got distracted with that cute guy.” She teased herself, pushing aside the absurdity of it all.
Taking a deep breath, Shaniqua strutted down the street, her heart heavy with what she had become yet fully embracing her new life, every curve, every step, and every proud detail about her hard-earned identity.
